Has John Kerry Come Full Circle?
[Intrepid Liberal Journal] Hopefully, not running for president in 2008 will liberate Kerry to be the assertive champion of truth of his early years in the Senate and the young man who testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee after his return from Vietnam. In life we sometimes have to come full circle before we can move forward.

Rumors of An Attack on Iran By April 2007
[Shining Light In Dark Corners] Clearly, no government would deliberately telegraph their actual intentions. But they would release in accurate information to demoralize and overwork an opponent for a better negotiated outcome, or to attempt to exhaust the defensive forces before an actual attack.

When the Brits Leave Iraq
[The Moderate Voice] It has been clear for many months that Iran has been actively involved in the Iraqi insurgency: by supplying arms and manpower to the militias who target American and British forces, and inciting sectarian violence, it has helped to maintain the state of chaotic instability which has persisted in spite of all attempts to bring order to the country. But as our report today makes clear, Iran is also engaged in a more sophisticated programme of political infiltration in Basra.

IRAQ IIO
[And So It Goes] of Iranian meddling, including the presence of numbers of Iranian officials, in Iraq, is not quite so obvious viewed from the perspective of Iraq’s Shia political parties, many of whose senior figures lived for two decades and more in exile in Iran, and look to its powerful Shia neighbour as both a friend and a religious and political exemplar in the midst of crisis. Iraq’s most senior Shia cleric was born in Iran - although he rejects the role of the clerics in the Iranian state.

Late Nite FDL: Tick”¦Tick”¦Tick”¦
[ Firedoglake - Firedoglake weblog] The magazine hit the stands between Thanksgiving and Christmas and for the next five months, I got anywhere from 20 to 50 cards and letters a day every single day. I would get home from school and there would just be a pile of mail in the middle of my bed, often decorated with skulls, black hearts, bloody-looking smears of candle-wax, crucifixes.

Why?
[DenisHorgan.com] Why would we forget the stunning similarities between the disaster of Vietnam and the disaster of Iraq? There is so little distinction between the hollow lies and broken promises of Vietnamization and the Iraqization of this one that to ignore one disaster is to invite another.

Securing Our National Defense
[Teacup Tempestry - An America First Blog] It's the same with cooperating and embedding with Iraqi's as Bush is doing, multiplied by the fact that the US replaced the moderate and far more "modern" Baathists and installed a theocratic Islamic government there). It's been reported by immigration experts that the average number of Americans killed by illegals each day is estimated to be somewhere between 12-25, by murder, drunk driving, sexual assaults, etc., "Our" National Guard defends Baghdad(on behalf of a foreign entity, israel) better than they do our own country and border. It's amazing that more Americans haven't taken matters further into their own hands, and for all the heated exchanges the "reconquistas" and their buddies should thank the Minutemen for effectively staving off *real* vigilantes from stepping up to the plate.
